Big A is 7 dAys away!

Hello!
After one of my recent posts, it is rather obvious that my obsession with the ABCFamily show, Pretty Little Liars is a significant part of my life. As with most ABC shows, PLL has its fair share of cliffhangers, however its series 5 finale seems to have beaten all of the previous ones. With a simple name reveal to keep us going for two months, its a wonder how the PLLArmy have managed to stay out of Radley! But, as series 6 approached, we were given little hints that we each individually pieced together to create our own theories. So, I thought I'd leave you with my reasons why Paige McCullers is Big A.
A rumour has been floating around that Paige will be revealed to actually be called Katherine DiLaurentis, which would make sense is 6A will be centred around that very family and how Alison and Jason-and even Katherine- grew to be who they are today. Of course this could be passed off due to lack of confirmation, but Katherine sounds an awfully similar to Charles, don't you think? Another suspicion is that Big A is transgender, which is why a sex has been so hard to confirm. If Paige was Katherine, then it is likely that she either was or is Charles (I'd just like to point out that none of this is to do with Paige being a lesbian, as I fully understand that being gay does not mean that they wish to be another gender.)
Another strong suggestion is  Paige's blatant hatred for Ali. In series 4 she went out of her way to prevent her from returning, even if it meant potentially destroying her relationship.
Whilst on the subject of Paily, I still can't get over the fact that Paige tried to drown Emily because she liked her! I mean ice heard of boys bullying girls in primary school because they like them but this is psychotic! If wanting to kill someone to get rid of your feelings for them isn't -A like behaviour than I dont know what is! Paige simply can't have changed her feelings for Emily so dramatically, therefore I dont believe that her feelings are genuine. But if she still felt the same dislike for Emily, than why date her? To gain her trust? Remember how long it took for Aria to believe the others about Ezra? Perhaps Paige has the same idea, knowing full well that Emily's loyalty would be even harder to break.
Amoung the array of hints, I. Marlene King stated that Big A was not in the Pilot, however was there 'that night'. For all we know, Paige may have been there after receiving threats from Ali, which we have seen in flashbacks. As for the Pilot, we know for a fact that she didn't male her appearance until at least 10 episodes in. 
Also, is it just me that saw her departure to California as rather abrupt? But, what if she didn't even get on the plane? She was away the right amount of time to have built the Dollhouse, not to mention her access to the Liars' bedrooms.
The only flaw in this would be her absense in 5x25, where we apparently saw -A unmasked, but its obvious that Marlene has lied to us before now.
Leave your theories below, and feel free to add or discuss my own. After all, I have got 7 dAys left!
Welcome to my paper life.

Series 5 is in the works!

Hello!
Similar to my previous post, the subject at hand is one of my favourite TV shows. Only this time, the amount of lies bring told are being swapped for magic there is in Maine!
With Once Upon a Time quickly increasing in popularity, its no surprise the amount of hype that has built up around the two hour series 4 finale, myself being a large part of it. However, being a UK resident, I have to wait until Wednesday to watch it on Netflix! Although this means I will have to avoid practically all social media in case of spoilers, it should free me up plenty of time to finish All I Know Now by Carrie Hope Fletcher, which I will hopefully review.
Anyway, back to OUAT.
With series 4 ending, a lot of speculation has arisen about whether the show will continue. Finally, we have been given confirmation! Series 5 is happening, and very soon! Along with Adam Horowitz's (one of the writers) tweets, he posted a promo photo, which I will add below.
We've also been told that the sneek peak of the next series will be a lot more subtle than the one in series 3, with only a small hint. Could this photo be part of it?
After pondering on what appear to be black ink which makes up the poster, I can only relate it to Ursula- who left with her father- or Hades, God of the Underworld for Hercules. Following this thought, I then began to imagine what part the other characters from this world would play.
So, here is my (loose) theory on Henry's fairytale ego:

If the black ink is on fact for Hades, then it may well be fire instead, like his 'hair'. But if so, why would he suddenly appear by himself? Surely he would have a reason?
With the synopsis of Operation Mongoose Part 1/2 stating that Henry has to restore normality to his family, perhaps this will lead to a newfound heroism or power within him. With this and the previous information we know about Henry, does he remind you of anyone? Child who was adopted by someone who wanted to stop him from using his abilities (I.e. his ability to see peoples potential/ their alter ego), had to grow up away from the land he belonged, someone who can "never come home" (he couldn't return to the Enchanted Forest through undoing the curse)? Sound familiar? That's because its the same story outline that made Hercules!
If fixing this Heroes and Villains mix up does unlock some power of his, then who else to stop it than Hades, a man who wants him to be normal?
Again, this is only a theory, but personally I would love if this did happen. Let me know your theories if you have any, because once the finale's over I will need something to crave my OUAT needs.

What Will Go Down In Rosewood

With the Pretty Little Liars Series 6 Premiere Promo having just graced our internet, and 2nd June is fast approaching, I seem to be finding myself staying up later, looking up hints and rumors for the upcoming set of answers we have been promised, desperate for my fix of Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hanna. As the PLLArmy is so large, I can only assume that many of you are going through the same ordeal, scouring the four corners of Google to find something to keep me going. Therefore, I've decided to compile my wide collection of -A knowledge into one blog post to satisfy you all.
However, I will not be listing all the episode titles due to the controversy of their validity, only ones i know to be true. Otherwise, I will state that the spoiler is a speculation only and they will only be mentioned if it makes sense to be true.
OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS FOR PREVIOUS AND UPCOMING SERIES LIE AHEAD.
Now that my terms have been listed, let's begin the speculation!

  1. After rising from her rather bloody grave, it has been confirmed that Janel Parish, who plays Mona Vanderwaal, is here to stay! She will remain a series regular on the show! Personally, I didn't notice how great her character was until the Thanksgiving whe she left, thus I'm delighted at her permanent return. I guess the fact that I've recently watched Bratz the Move also spurred on the Janel love, but more on that later. 
  2. Speaking of Mona, Charles will torture her separately from the Liars in 6x01, most likely for planning their escape and more or less leading it.
  3. But! She does not die! And is so far going to escape with the Liars in 6x04 according to some sources and the Premiere according to others, though neither are confirmed. 
  4. Mike, however, will learn that she is alive in the Premiere! I can't wait for their reunion, apparently a lot of tears are shed between our two lovebirds; I ship them so hard!
  5. BUT! Mike is also said to die in Series 6! I know, I'm just as devastated as you are, but Cody Allen Christian is said to have other work lined up. Although I'm distraught, it would make sense that Charles would kill him to punish both Mona and Aria. 
  6. Alison is let out of jail in the first few episodes, and judging by her yellow top and whereabouts in the Promo, she is recruited by -A soon after.
  7. Aria's pink highlights are back! 
  8. Charles is going to recreate 'That Night' with the Liars and Mona, and possibly Ali, to the way things should have gone. He was there that night and knows no one was meant to die, But why does Charles need Ali when he has Mona? I suspect that one of them will play Bethany in his little role play. 
  9. As well as Bethany Young and Sara Harvey, there will be the story of another missing girl in 6a, and my bets are on Maya's body. Basically only a small amount of fans think she is actually dead, due to not seeing her body and her death having a strange resemblance to Ali's fake one. Some theories say she traded her 'life' and joined the -A Team, which would explain what appears to be a purposeful dead end in her story.
  10. This one is rather a big clue: The mime in RavensWood was Charles! Although he wasn't played by any of the PLL cast and rather Brian Dare, who is currently in 'Jane the Virgin' on E4. But, if I had to pick a cast member who he resembled, I would have to say Ezra.
  11. That said, I. Marlene King has revealed that Charles was not in the Pilot, meaning a lot of main characters are off the list, Ezra included! Phew! The amount of stress and raw pain (not to mention boxes of tissues) I went through in Series 4 is not something I wish to revisit anytime soon. 
  12.  After escaping the Dollhouse, the Liars will all be hospitalized or go to Radley, and judging by the Premiere Mona has a seat with her name on it.
  13. Aria is also rumored to be admitted into Radley after Mike's death, there I believe she will adopt the same 'I'm safe here' attitude that Spencer did. 
  14. Though, Spencer might not be far off Radley once more, with rumors flying that she is, in fact, adopted! This would explain her disconnection with her family and the way they are extremely protective of both her, her reputation and all of their secrets.
  15. Toby is supposed to propose to Spencer! I suppose knowing that your girlfriend is being tortured in a life-size Dollhouse would make you commit. But if he does propose, she will say no! I feel like this would link with her parental discovery, as Spencer would feel that she would need to be at peace with her family (perhaps find her real parents?) before she can start her own. But fear not, Spoby shippers. I have full faith that Toby will wait for her, and most likely encourage and help in her search. 
  16. Officer Cavanaugh will also be kept busy with his new Police partner, portrayed by Travis Winfrey! 
  17. Dre Davis is also joining the cast as tomboy Kimberly Brown! Fans seemed to be fascinated by the new girl in Rosewood, the two top theories being that she is the Kim girl that Jake brought to Emily's birthday party, or that she is actually Bethany! This photo she posted is the main fuel for this speculation, which I feel is an appropriate and likely one. 
  18. In Series 6, after 5 long, great years, the titles will change! Ali will be added now she is definitely alive, and I'm hoping upon hope that the titles will stay the same util "If I Show You Than I Know You Won't Tell What I Said," afterwards Ali will sit up from the coffin and do the infamous  "Shhh..." instead of Aria. As I say, this is only my ideas, but I know Marlene will do us proud either way.
  19. Series 6 will have more funerals than any other episodes! It is presumed that Mona's mum, Emily's Dad and Mike could all be in one of the boxes. Cece Drake is also predicted to die before the end of Pretty Little Liars, though a more detailed date is unknown. 
  20. When Cece visited Mona in Radley, she was in fact there to see Bethany Young. Reasons for this are being kept under wraps.
  21. It seems Bethany had many connections to Rosewood, having had some sort of relationship with Mona, whether it be friendly or not.
  22. Everyone is soon to find out about the Jenna Thing. Depending on whether Jenna presses charges, the Liars may or may not once again be in trouble with the authorities. 
  23. Since we're on the subject of Jenna Marshall, now is as good a time as ever to drop a major spoiler: Jenna only ever went blind in one eye! That's correct, not only did she fake after her surgery, she has been faking from the beginning! I suspect it's for the same reasons, out of fear and self-protection, however I suspect that the Liars will be ready to see the last of her when they find out. 
  24.  Alison and Mona will make peace in Series 6, though their friendship is said to start out bittersweet.
  25. And my final point, remember when Spencer went for a college interview in the UK and her bag leaked blood? Melissa put it there, and it belonged to Mona! 
I hope these have some way benefited your -A knowledge, and perhaps even confirmed some of your suspicions! Naturally, this is only the tip of the ice berg, so if you want more gossip on the Liars then let me know and I may well continue this as more news arrives. After all, I haven't even began to mention 6B!

Look out for my current Big A/Charles theory, and please let me know your own.
Hopefully that way, I'll hold on for June.

Post Easter Treats

Hello!
Since I have a large family, holidays and celebrations often result in being laiden with gifts, which of course I am extremely greatful for, and Easter 2015 was no different.
With 7 eggs, a bunny, a pack of Creme Eggs, a massive bar of my favorite chocolate and some Egg 'n Spoons (which I cannot believe I've only just tried! I am therefore compensating for lost time now) along with £15, I lived the month of April eating Cadburys for breakfast.
Sadly, I somehow consumed all of my chocolate in a little over two weeks, whilst my siblings savoured theirs, lacking the skill of binge eating.
However, I had managed to save one half of an egg to fill with ice cream. The idea soon caught on, the snap the chocolate gained and the chocolate hint in the ice cream seeming like magic to a ten year old and a seven year old. Thus, leftover easter treat sundaes have been a nightly event. I thought I'd leave you our marvelous creations below, whilst I work on an April Favourites blog post and a Pretty Little Liars theory or two!
